Launching Balloons into North Korea: Propaganda Over Pyongyang

North and South Korea are, both legally and philosophically, in a state of war. While the guns may be silent, the conflict between the two countries has now become one of propaganda.
With the assistance of the Human Rights Foundation, North Korean defectors now in South Korea have been launching hydrogen-filled balloons across the 38th parallel — carrying both money and propaganda. In late 2014, a balloon launch sparked a brief exchange of gunfire between North and South Korean soldiers, and even more recently, Pyongyang has promised that hellfire will rain on South Korea if any copies of the controversial Hollywood comedy The Interview make

A gunman shot dead three men on Wednesday in Sejong City, South Korea before turning the gun on himself.
The suspect reportedly took two hunting rifles from a police station in the nearby city of Gongju about two hours before the shooting rampage.
In South Korea, gun possession is strictly regulated and hunting rifle owners have to obtain licenses. Rifles have to be stored in a police station and access is only allowed during hunting seasons.
At around 8 a.m, the suspect opened fire on a 50-year-old man surnamed Kim, who was leaving home for work, according to Yonhap News Agency. The gunman then fatally shot Kim's father, who lived near

The South Korean Love Industry

With one of the lowest birth rates in the world, South Korea is in danger of disappearing by the end of the millennium. If the situation stays as it is, South Koreans are predicted to become extinct by 2750. Because of the rapidly aging population, elderly prostitutes known as "Bacchus ladies" have cornered a number of public parks as their working areas. Meanwhile, South Korean kids are living with their families well into their 20s—as a result, an entire economy of sex motels has sprung up to give kids a place to fool around outside the watchful eyes of their parents.

(CNN)U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was attacked in Seoul, possibly by more than one person, according to U.S. government sources in the U.S. and South Korea. He is in stable condition, according to a U.S. embassy spokesperson.
Lippert was injured by a small razor blade, according to Seoul police. His injuries are not life threatening, according to Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman. He received injuries on his right cheek and hand at about 5.42 p.m. ET, according to South Korean police.The President called U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Mark Lippert, to tell him that he and his wife Robyn are in his thoughts and prayers, and to wish him the very best for a speedy recovery," said Bernadette Meehan, National Security Council spokesperson.
READ: Canadian pastor reported missing after trip to North Korea
According to South Korea's YTN news channel, Lippert was about to deliver a speech at a breakfast being held at Sejong Hall in Seoul. The report says nothing specific about the attack, only that yelling was heard and then the bloodied ambassador was taken to hospital.
The YTN report also says a suspect identified by last name "Kim" was detained.
The suspect -- believed to be in his 50s -- is detained and currently under investigation.
Lippert has been a confidant of President Barack Obama ever since he arrived in the Senate in 2005. Lippert worked with Obama on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and traveled the world with the senator as he garnered the foreign policy experience that helped pave the way for his presidential campaign.
When Obama declared he would run for president in the 2008 race, Lippert was by his side again, and was on the road with the candidate and ultimately served as the chief foreign policy adviser for the Obama campaign.
In 2007, Lippert was deployed as a Naval Reserve Lieutenant to Iraq to work as an intelligence officer with Navy SEALS.
In a Wall Street Journal story that year, Lippert was profiled while he was in Iraq in a story which included an anecdote about him receiving an email on his Blackberry from then-Sen. Obama which read, "I miss you, brother."
Lippert's deployment was not without irony, because he was in Iraq at a time when his boss was actively campaigning against what he said was a "dumb war."
After his deployment, Lippert returned to Washington and served as deputy national security adviser and the chief of staff for the National Security Council in the Obama White House. In October 2009, however, he decided to return to active duty. He was deployed to Afghanistan and he also served as an intelligence officer for the Naval Special Warfare Development Group in Virginia Beach.
"He is a close friend, and I admire and respect his devotion to our country and answering the call to active duty service," Obama said in a statement at the time. Lippert was nominated to be the top Asia policy official in the Pentagon in 2011 amid stories that he had clashed while on the NSC with former national security adviser, retired Gen. James Jones, which were reported in Bob Woodward's book "Obama's Wars."
Woodward wrote that Jones resented Lippert and another former Senate aide Denis McDonough, who later was to become White House chief of staff, referring to them as part of the "politburo" who he thought thwarted the effective framing of policy.
Woodward reported in the book that Obama affectionately referred to the two close aides by the Doctor Seuss nickname of "Thing One and Thing Two."
Last year, Obama nominated Lippert to serve as ambassador to South Korea.SEOUL, South Korea — The American ambassador to South Korea, Mark W. Lippert, was taken to a hospital on Thursday after a South Korean assailant protesting joint American-South Korean military exercises attacked him with a knife, according to South Korean journalists and officials who were at the scene.
Mr. Lippert was in stable condition with bleeding on the right side of his face, they added. South Korean news websites carried photos of Mr. Lippert walking to a car to be taken to a hospital.
He was covering the injury with his hand, and his shirt was splattered with blood. The assailant was apprehended at the scene and taken into the custody of the South Korean police.
Before he was taken away, the attacker, who identified himself as Kim Ki-jong, told South Korean reporters that he had attacked Mr. Lippert to protest the annual joint military exercises that the United States started this week with South Korea.
Some left-leaning activists in South Korea have criticized the annual military exercises, saying that they raise tensions with North Korea and hamper efforts to build reconciliation on the divided Korean Peninsula. North Korea also condemned the exercises as a rehearsal for invasion, though both Washington and Seoul said the drills were defensive in nature.

N. Korea unveils new anti-ship missile ahead of joint S. Korea-U.S. drills
We begin with North Korea′s latest addition to its military hardware.
This time it′s a powerful anti-ship rocket,... which the regime′s state media has been proudly showing off.
No word on when or where the test-firing of the missile took place, but it was deemed important enough for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to personally watch over the proceedings.
Song Ji-sun starts us off.
North Korea has test-fired a new anti-ship cruise missile demonstrating the increased capability of its naval forces.
Images published by Pyongyang′s state-run newspaper on Saturday also showed leader Kim Jong-un observing the missile being fired from a small naval vessel.
North Korea describes it as a "new type of cutting-edge anti-ship rocket" developed by North Korean scientists that will "bring a great change in the navy′s defense of territorial waters".
Seoul′s defense ministry said Saturday that it assumes the missile has a range of 130-kilometers.
The design of the missile appears to be almost,... if not,.. completely identical to a Russian anti-ship missile that is capable of flying at high speed above the sea.
On top of this,... the ship from which the missile was launched, is a high-speed warship the North has never revealed before.
"North Korea is demonstrating the reinforced capabilities of its navy.
It appears the North wants to strengthen unity within its military... as it has declared 2015 as a year for the ′completion of a great war for unification.′"
Pyongyang has boosted the number of its military drills in recent weeks,... in its usual routine of seeking to raise tensions ahead of the annual joint military drills between South Korea and United States.

The two discussed their stance on North Korea... in particular, on why Pyongyang is refusing to talk with the U.S., and how to bring the communist state back to the multi-lateral talks on the regime′s denuclearization,... known more commonly as the six-party talks.
The two officials also vowed to continue strenthening their countries′ bilateral ties... and cooperate in the global fight against the Islamic State militant group.

The design of the missile appears to be almost,... if not,.. completely identical to a Russian anti-ship missile that is capable of flying at high speed above the sea.
On top of this,... the ship from which the missile was launched, is a high-speed warship the North has never revealed before.
"North Korea is demonstrating the reinforced capabilities of its navy.
It appears the North wants to strengthen unity within its military... as it has declared 2015 as a year for the ′completion of a great war for unification.′"
Pyongyang has boosted the number of its military drills in recent weeks,... in its usual routine of seeking to raise tensions ahead of the annual joint military drills between South Korea and United States.

It marked the first time Yun and Kerry have sat down for face-to-face talks this year.

Terrible !! Anthrax Accidentally Send To USA & South Korea | Last Updates | latest news
Live samples of deadly anthrax were mistakenly sent to laboratories in nine US states and a military base in South Korea, the Pentagon has admitted.
The bacteria – described as a “serious infectious disease” by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – were supposed to have been rendered harmless before they were sent.
Four civilian members of staff were advised to take preventative drugs, a US official told Reuters. There were no reported cases of infection.
Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said that the live samples were sent out from a US military-run lab in Utah.
“There is no known risk to the general public, and there are no suspected or confirmed cases of anthrax infection in potentially exposed lab workers,” he stressed.
“Out of an abundance of caution, (the Defence Department) has stopped the shipment of this material from its labs pending completion of the investigation.”
The mishap comes 11 months after one of the Federal government's top civilian labs, the CDC in Atlanta, had a similar biosafety accident.

North and South Korea are, both legally and philosophically, in a state of war. While the guns may be silent, the conflict between the two countries has now become one of propaganda.
With the assistance of the Human Rights Foundation, North Korean defectors now in South Korea have been launching hydrogen-filled balloons across the 38th parallel — carrying both money and propaganda. In late 2014, a balloon launch sparked a brief exchange of gunfire between North and South Korean soldiers, and even more recently, Pyongyang has promised that hellfire will rain on South Korea if any copies of the controversial Hollywood comedy The Interview make it across the border.
VICE News traveled to Seoul to meet frontline soldiers in this information war — and to attend a clandestine launch of propaganda balloons into the Hermit Kingdom.

South Korea murder-suicide: Man kills ex's current boyfriend, brother and father before suicide

A gunman shot dead three men on Wednesday in Sejong City, South Korea before turning the gun on himself.
The suspect reportedly took two hunting rifles from a police station in the nearby city of Gongju about two hours before the shooting rampage.
In South Korea, gun possession is strictly regulated and hunting rifle owners have to obtain licenses. Rifles have to be stored in a police station and access is only allowed during hunting seasons.
At around 8 a.m, the suspect opened fire on a 50-year-old man surnamed Kim, who was leaving home for work, according to Yonhap News Agency. The gunman then fatally shot Kim's father, who lived nearby.
The suspect later entered a convenience store and shot dead the store manager. He left after setting fire to the convenience store.
The suspect's body was found later by a river in Gongju. Reports said he died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Authorities have identified the suspect as a former boyfriend of Kim's younger sister. Shooting incidents are rare in South Korea because of the country's stringent gun control.

Book of Revelation 14:9-12
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

With one of the lowest birth rates in the world, South Korea is in danger of disappearing by the end of the millennium. If the situation stays as it is, South Koreans are predicted to become extinct by 2750. Because of the rapidly aging population, elderly prostitutes known as "Bacchus ladies" have cornered a number of public parks as their working areas. Meanwhile, South Korean kids are living with their families well into their 20s—as a result, an entire economy of sex motels has sprung up to give kids a place to fool around outside the watchful eyes of their parents.
We sent Matt Shea to investigate this generational crisis, which led him to Seoul's red-light district, a pre-wedding photo shoot on the set of a Korean soap opera, and an erotic sculpture park on South Korea's "honeymoon island."

Internet Speed in South Korea - Mountainous Country Side

I had a business trip to London, UK, to my client's office about 2 years ago (2012). I found their internet speed is pretty much slow. Yesterday (Aug. 29, 2014), one of my clients in the United States asked me to provide my internet speed to do software QA testing over internet. So I did. This is the result. I am in a mountainous country side in South Korea. This area is regarded as relatively under-developed compared to other areas in South Korea.
If you are doing business anything related to IT, Korea is a perfect place for you. I pay only USD 25 per month to my internet service provider.

When grocery chain Tesco wanted to expand their market share in South Korea, they came up with a brilliant idea.
Because the people in South Korea work long hours they thought of an efficient way to sell their products. The Korean subsidiary Home Plus put up billboards in subway stations with their range of products, accompanied by QR, or Quick Response codes. All people had to do now is scan the QR codes with their cell phone and the groceries were delivered to their doorsteps.

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

For 50 years, South Korea’s economy has grown by an average of seven percent annually, contracting in only two of those years. In 1996, South Korea joined the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the club of rich industrialized countries, and in 2010, it became the first Asian country and the first non-G-7 member to host a G-20 summit.
To call South Korea an emerging market, therefore, is a bit of an anachronism. The country is a rich, technologically advanced, mature democracy with an impressive record of innovation, economic reform, and sound leadership. Yet South Korea is not exactly a developed market, either. The value of its exports plus imports (at $1.25 trillion a year) exceeds its national income (at $1.1 trillion). That openness, along with the lack of protection provided by a bloc such as the EU, subjects South Korea to greater market volatility than other major industrialized countries and presents some serious challenges. So, too, does its highly concentrated corporate sector, aging population, and politically dangerous neighborhood. South Korea may well be more dynamic than some developed economies, making it attractive to investors, but it is also much riskier.
SO LONG, KOREA DISCOUNT
Given South Korea’s extraordinary accomplishments, it is tempting to try to distill the secrets of its success, so that they can be bottled and used elsewhere. But South Korea’s remarkable leap from poverty to riches owes to a unique set of historical circumstances.
Soon after the division of the Korean Peninsula, in 1945, South Korea already had in place the building blocks for growth: an educated population, property rights, land reform that boosted productivity, and the institutions of modern capitalism. But then came the Korean War, which devastated the country. Investment did not take off until the country began to rebuild in the 1960s, when the authoritarian president Park Chung-hee (father of the current president, Park Geun-hye) embarked on a set of policy reforms that encouraged domestic saving and opened the economy up to international trade.
South Korea’s initial rapid growth was characterized by both political authoritarianism and extensive state intervention in the economy. In the 1970s and 1980s, Seoul channeled massive amounts of capital through subsidies and low-interest-rate loans into trusted family-led chaebol, or conglomerates. These favored firms also enjoyed trade preferences and monopoly rights, among other indulgences extended by the government. Such preferential treatment enabled the chaebol, which today include Hyundai and Samsung, to grow into massive business empires whose brands are now recognized and envied around the world. But the story has a dark side: today, the chaebol’s ongoing dominance poses challenges to regulators seeking to make South Korea’s markets more competitive. And the conglomerates’ historical ties to the country’s early dictators feed resentment among many South Koreans, who regard the businesses as having achieved their dominance unfairly.

South Korea exports master plans for environmental businesses.
-Part 1: South Korean environmental companies that advanced abroad
Environmental pollution is a serious problem the world has to solve together. South Korea's small and medium sized companies actively engaged in businesses that enhance environment are showing stellar performance in abroad as their outstanding technologies gain recognition from overseas markets. For example, Royal Industrial Tech Corp. (RITCO) has installed a fine dust removal system in Wangfujing Station, a key political and economic downtown in Beijing, China, to improve air quality of the subway station. In addition, KC RIVERTECH Co. Ltd. is undergoing a project to improve water quality of a tide pool area in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. The city is well known for apple plantations. Under the project, the company will develop a system to reduce non-point pollutant materials by the end of this year. We take a look at their activities in China and the businesses the Ministry of Environment is supporting.
Interview
Analysis of South Korea's budget for 2014
Interviewee: Hyun Jin-kwon, Chairman of the Korean Association of Public Finance/Director of Center for Social Cohesion, Korea Economic Research Institute
After the Park Geun-hye administration announced its first budget focusing on boosting the economy, controversies surrounding the budget flared up. The controversies include a possible retreat in welfare pledges and an increase in national debt. The government's budget for 2014 was set at 357.7 trillion won, up 4.6% from this year. It expects the economy to grow 3.9% next year. It maximized spending to buoy the economy despite low tax revenue. Under the spotlight is welfare budget which was set at 106 trillion won. As a result of this, a South Korean citizen is expected to pay 5.5 million won in taxes next year, up 100,000 won from this year. We will take a look at next year's budget in detail and examine how the country's fiscal standing can be managed effectively under the increasingly difficult tax revenue circumstances.

Unmanned vehicles running on the roads
In a video clip of recently introduced Google car, a blind person goes to a restaurant and returns home in a self-driving Google car. The Google car ran 460,000 kilometers in Nevada, U.S. after solving problems related to road regulations and insurance. Self-driving vehicle is a fusion of various technologies in cars, cameras, artificial intelligence and communications. Major global automobile makers and telecommunications companies are absorbed in developing unmanned vehicles. Led by Seoul National University's College of Engineering, South Korea has also succeeded in development of unmanned vehicle under the industry-academic cooperation. Hyundai Motor Co., Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute as well as Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have earned various patents on self-driving vehicle technologies and kicked off developing vehicles completely capable of driving autonomously. We take a look at the technology of unmanned vehicle which already succeeded in a trial ride. And we predict if this can replace cars of the future.

Magic Cara, sanitary and economical way to dispose of food waste
Since South Korea introduced volume based food waste fee system, food waste disposers, which enable people to easily take care of food garbage at home, gained huge popularity. Some media expect the market to surge to more than 900 billion won in 2016 from 80 billion won this year. Among food waste disposers, Magic Cara's product Smart Cara is getting the spotlight at home and abroad. The product differentiates itself from other food waste disposers as it reduces volume of food waste up to one tenth and removes bad smell through its special filters. The product controls processing time to sharply reduce power usage. Its compact design and convenient technology has won the hearts of housewives. Let's meet Magic Cara's smart and environment-friendly technology.

I had a business trip to London, UK, to my client's office about 2 years ago (2012). I found their internet speed is pretty much slow. Yesterday (Aug. 29, 2014), one of my clients in the United States asked me to provide my internet speed to do software QA testing over internet. So I did. This is the result. I am in a mountainous country side in South Korea. This area is regarded as relatively under-developed compared to other areas in South Korea.

When grocery chain Tesco wanted to expand their market share in South Korea, they came up with a brilliant idea.
Because the people in South Korea work long hours they thought of an efficient way to sell their products. The Korean subsidiary Home Plus put up billboards in subway stations with their range of products, accompanied by QR, or Quick Response codes. All people had to do now is scan the QR codes with their cell phone and the groceries were delivered to their doorsteps.

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Whether you're in the mood for a small bite - or a huge feast - you'll certainly find what you're looking for at an affordable price as most Korean street food items are priced between 1000 to 4000 Korean Won.
When many foreigners think of Korean cuisine the first thought that may come to mind is having Korean barbecue at a Korean restaurant; however, Korean food is so much more than that and I truly believe it is showcased in its finest form on

Things to do in Seoul Korea | Top Attractions Travel Guide

Seoul is one of the most dynamic cities in the world. I've been privileged enough to have lived in and around the Seoul metropolitan area for several years as an English teacher. It's a city that is near and dear to my heart and one which I strongly encourage you to visit. Below is my things to do in Seoul travel guide featuring all of the top attractions worth visiting:
1) Insadong is the cultural HUB of Seoul. It's an area that is equally as popular with locals as it is with tourists. Whether you're shopping for Korean souvenirs, people watching or wanting to grab some Korean street food, you'll find it all here.
2) Do fancy cats?

In this travel video we visit one of the most popular areas in Korea for university students, young adults and indie culture seekers in Seoul, Korea known as Hongdae -- 홍대앞. This is the first neighborhood I ever visited in Seoul, when I came on an independent journey, way back in 2004 to see -- whether or not -- I would like to teach English in South Korea after completing my University degree. It made quite an impression upon me then and it still does to this day. So much has changed in the Hongdae since I first arrived. The guest house where I met some of the first long-term backpackers I had ever encountered is no longer in operation.

Street Food in Asia

Street Food in Asia

When it comes to street food Asia is without a doubt the leader in terms of top notch delectable and inexpensive bite sized delights. Prior to teaching English in South Korea, having grown up in Canada, I really didn't know what street food was all about. Over the past decade, having focused most of my time living and traveling in Asia, I've become such a huge fan of street food that I feel as though I'm being robbed whenever I visit a country or city where I'm unable to get it.
When you think of street food in Asia numerous countries pop into mind. The standouts in my opinion are Korean street food, Chinese street food, Thai street food,

In this travel video we explore Insadong traditional street (인사동) - popular with Koreans and foreigners - wandering around the traditional restaurants, arts and crafts, street food, malls and street performances. There are a lot of cultural style performances for both music and dance. We enjoyed both sunny and rainy weather during our two visits. The video captures all of the action on the busiest pedestrian street in Seoul, South Korea.

There is just so much to see and do in Korea from food to culture and from attractions and cities worth visiting. From Seoul to Busan and from countryside to urban city centers there is something for everyone. The following recommendation for the top things to do in South Korea:
1) Visiting Insadong
Considered by many to the cultural hub of Seoul, Insadong is the perfect place to indulge in Korean street, go shopping and take in Korean traditional musical performances. It is also one of the best places for people watching as you'll notice a mix of both Koreans and foreigners.
2) Korean Folk Village
The Korean Folk Village, nestled in between the cities of Suwon and Yongin, is a place you'll definitely want to check out. While wandering around he scenic premises you can snack on Korean street food delights such as sugary taffy where you'll notice traditional Korean wedding ceremonies, tightrope walking and equestrian students and performances. The best time of year to come is in the fall or spring.
3) Cat Cafes
Although we've been to several cat cafes in Thailand, Malaysia and Germany we still haven't found one that tops the cat cafe we visited in Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea. Purchase an entrance ticket, which entitles you to a drink, allows you to come in and interact with the cats playing, feeding and petting them to your hearts content.
4) One of the most historic markets in all of Seoul - and Korea for that matter - is Namdaemun Market. As the largest and oldest open air market in all of Korea you'll have a chance to shop and eat Korean street food all day long. My favorite snack here is hotteok.
5) A scenic and peaceful way to experience the heart of downtown Seoul is to wander along the Cheonggyecheon. There are few places that are more attractive to go walking. When we visited in winter we noticed many ice sculptures.
6) To beat the heat in the winter, visit a traditional Korean tea house for a fragrant cup of hot fruity tea and a delicious plate of Korean rice cake snacks.
7) Not a fan of cats? Try visiting a dog cafe as an alternative. It's the same deal as the cat cafe in terms of purchasing overpriced drinks for the chance to play and interact with cute dogs and puppies.
8) Kimbap Restaurant
For excellent Korean rice rolls, known as kimbap, head to one of the ubiquitous locations for some excellent kimchi fried rice, mandu and Korean soups.
9) Bamboo Park
If you visit the city of Damyang, in the southern region of Korea, you'll be treated to the Damyang Bamboo Forest Park. A nice scenic escape from urban Korean life, these parks do sometimes get crowded.
10) Boseong Tea Fields and Plantation
Not far from the Bamboo Forest Park is the Boseong Tea Fields. Come climb up to the very top - it's quite the workout and enjoy a cup of green tea or green tea flavored ice cream upon returning to the bottom.
11) There are a plethora of fascinating palaces and temples to explore in Seoul. Our favorite, is Gyeongbokgung Palace where admission is only 3000 Won. Pose with Korean guards and stick around for the changing of the guard.
12) If you're ready to shop until you drop be sure to visit Myeongdong, one of the most popular shopping districts in all of Seoul. Here you'll find swanky boutique shops and plenty of restaurants.
13) For the art and hipster scene be sure to visit Hongdae, the most popular student hangout area for Koreans. From food to nightlife to shopping this place has it all for young 20 somethings.
14) An alternative to Itaewon is Songtan - located nearby an American Military base in the Pyeongtaek region. This is where you'll come to buy American goods and to eat International cuisine.
15) Seoul Tower offers amazing views of the city but I enjoyed climbing Namsan even more. The climb is free and it best enjoyed on a fall or spring afternoon when the weather is cool.

When coming up with a top attractions travel guide for South Korea it became a daunting task to go through my travel video library collection of Korean videos and decide which ones to use. There is just so much to see and do in Korea from food to culture and from attractions and cities worth visiting. From Seoul to Busan and from countryside to urban city centers there is something for everyone. The following recommendation for the top things to do in South Korea:
1) Visiting Insadong
Considered by many to the cultural hub of Seoul, Insadong is the perfect place to indulge in Korean street, go shopping and take in Korean traditional musical performances. It is also one of the best places for people watching as you'll notice a mix of both Koreans and foreigners.
2) Korean Folk Village
The Korean Folk Village, nestled in between the cities of Suwon and Yongin, is a place you'll definitely want to check out. While wandering around he scenic premises you can snack on Korean street food delights such as sugary taffy where you'll notice traditional Korean wedding ceremonies, tightrope walking and equestrian students and performances. The best time of year to come is in the fall or spring.
3) Cat Cafes
Although we've been to several cat cafes in Thailand, Malaysia and Germany we still haven't found one that tops the cat cafe we visited in Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea. Purchase an entrance ticket, which entitles you to a drink, allows you to come in and interact with the cats playing, feeding and petting them to your hearts content.

The Asian Art Museum presented Korea Foundation Korean Culture Day on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013 for the fifth consecutive year. This feast of Korean culture featured food, music and other performances as well as hands-on art activities for all ages. The festival was presented in conjunction with the museum's special exhibition In Grand Style: Celebrations in Korean Art during the Joseon Dynasty.

When it comes to street food in Asia, Korea reigns supreme as the true heavyweight offering up a diverse spread of delectable street snacks that range from sweet to salty and from savory to spicy. Whether you're in the mood for a small bite - or a huge feast - you'll certainly find what you're looking for at an affordable price as most Korean street food items are priced between 1000 to 4000 Korean Won.
When many foreigners think of Korean cuisine the first thought that may come to mind is having Korean barbecue at a Korean restaurant; however, Korean food is so much more than that and I truly believe it is showcased in its finest form on the streets of Seoul - or any Korean city/town for that matter.
Where can you get the best street food in Korea? In my opinion, the street food in Seoul is as good as it gets; however, the truth is that Korean street food can be found all over Korea - from sprawling urban center to tiny little rural village.
Whether your outing is for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or even a hangover cure, eating on the street is as real and authentic as it gets in South Korea.
Please be sure to let me know how your experience eating Korean street food compares to other types of Asian street food and/or street food from around the world.
The following is a guide to some of our favorite Korean street food bites that you'll want to try when you visit Korea for the first time:
I've now traveled to over forty countries and I've yet to experience street food that can compete with Korea. Known locally as Pojangmacha, you can tantalize your taste buds with spicy, savory, salty and sweet street snacks. Two of my personal favorites include Tteokbokki (떡볶이) and Hotteok (호떡).
The following is a guide to some of our favorite Korean street -- warning -- I hope you're not hunrgy while watching this.
And we are going to show you the different kinds of food you can buy in this alley.
So that looks pretty appetizing. What do you have there? It sure does. Well we found some food on a stick here. Different kind of battered food objects. So if you want to take a look. We've got what appears to be a rice cake, kind of a lobster roll and as we go down a bit lower sort of like a hotdog/sausage thingamajig. And this is our first little snack food of the day. It looks tasty. Let's try it. Okay, I'm going to have the rice one. Very classy! Mmmmmm. Nice.
Alright, now you are up. What are you going to have? I'm going to take a bite of the hotdog. Scarf it. Mmmmm. It's nice and spicy. Is it? This is really good. Yeah. You'll have to try this one.
호떡? 얼마 죠? 1000 원입니다.
Okay, so we have got a delicious treat here called Hotteok. And it's a fried kind of sweet treat. Inside it's filled with cinnamon, honey and sugary kind of goodness. You bit into it and it's really warm. Perfect for the fall or winter. So I will take the first bite here.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's good. Mmmmmmm....haha
So we've found ourselves a nice little back-alley to enjoy it. We're going to feast on the hotteok. It's delicious. Show us how it is done. It's hot. It's hot! Oh nice! The gooey-ness.
It's made of honey. Malt. M A L T. Actually honey is liquid right? We boil this for one week. We make it solid because I have to show you a performance. It's hard. This is corn flour. Make a hole. Like this. Like this. Stretch. Stretch. Little by little.
I have a clump of candy in my cheek. Nice. We just bought some sticky rice taffy and it is all natural. It is very sweet. It is kind of like a chewy candy.
This would appear to be ice cream in some kind of cane.
Look at what we've got here. Nice. Big enough? Go take a bite of that. Take a look at this. I think it is big enough to share. Well, good.
Is that the biggest ice cream you've ever had? Yeah, that is really good.
If you're looking to try Korean street food Insadong (인사동) is one of your best bets in the entire country let alone Seoul.
Speaking Korean.
When traveling to Korea don't be afraid to sample as many Korean street food snacks as you possibly can -- your taste buds will surely be rewarded:

Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910

WORLD TRAVEL (EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICAS...)
Documentary South Korea HD
The Korean Wave[2] (Hangul: 한류; hanja: 韓流; RR: Hallyu[1]; MR: Hallyu) is a neologism referring to the increase in the popularity of South Korean culture since the late 1990s. The term was originally coined in mid-1999 by Beijing journalists who were surprised by China's growing appetite for South Korean cultural exports. They subsequently referred to this new phenomenon as "Hánliú" (韓流), which literally means "flow of Korea".[3][4]
First driven by the spread of K-dramas televised across East, South and Southeast Asia during its initial stages, the Korean Wave evolved from a regional development into a global phenomenon due to the proliferation of Korean pop (K-pop) music videos on YouTube.[5] Currently, the spread of the Korean Wave to other regions of the world is most visibly seen among teenagers and young adults in Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Europe,[6][7][8] and immigrant enclaves of the Western world.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
At the turn of the 21st century, South Korea is emerging as a major exporter of popular culture, rivaling many Western nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom.[17] The Economist has dubbed Korean pop culture as "Asia’s foremost trendsetter".[18] The growing acceptance and popularity of South Korean pop culture as a valid form of entertainment in many parts of the world has prompted the government of South Korea to use the Korean Wave as a tool for soft power as well as facilitating its entertainment and creative sector to increase exports to enhance the country's burgeoning economy as well as fulfilling the nations ambitious goal of becoming the world's leading pop culture exporter, a niche that the United States has cornered for nearly a century.[19] The South Korean government has also made a commitment by also earmarking 1% of its national budget towards spending in the form of subsidies and low-interest loans by fostering its cultural industries through the launch of creative agencies to promote and expand K-pop exports to drive creative and economic growth, and setting up more cultural departments at universities to nurture a talented workforce needed to support its burgeoning entertainment and creative sector.[19][20]

South Korea is a country of transformation. Exporting goods such as electronics, cars, and pop music it has become one of the world's biggest economies. All this development has created an amazing culture that is quite diverse. From the non-stop city of Seoul to the traditional mountain towns, South Korea was an easy choice for our next Skate and Explore adventure.

Seoul is one of the most dynamic cities in the world. I've been privileged enough to have lived in and around the Seoul metropolitan area for several years as an English teacher. It's a city that is near and dear to my heart and one which I strongly encourage you to visit. Below is my things to do in Seoul travel guide featuring all of the top attractions worth visiting:
1) Insadong is the cultural HUB of Seoul. It's an area that is equally as popular with locals as it is with tourists. Whether you're shopping for Korean souvenirs, people watching or wanting to grab some Korean street food, you'll find it all here.
2) Do fancy cats? For cat lovers (and the cats living there) a cat cafe is paradise. With an opportunity to interact with cats and feed them treats, you'll be sure to make a few feline friends in just one sitting. The deal with these cat cafes is that you have to purchase a prepaid drink and/or snack (at a price higher than a normal cafe) for the opportunity to pet and play with kitties. Our favorite cat cafe was located in Hongdae.
3) In the winter Korea is frigid in a way few from abroad might expect. To warm up head to a proper Korean Tea House where you'll be served a wonderful aromatic fruity Korean tea accompanied by rice cake snacks. To enjoy like a local find a spot with Ondol - heated floors. If you're looking for a recommendation, try the ginger tea!
4) For the best view in Seoul consider hiking up Mount Namsan to visit Seoul Tower. Best done in the spring or fall - given the moderate temperatures - this moderately challenging walk will take less than an hour to complete. We picked late fall to go when it was cooler outside and leaves were changing colors.
5) No trip to Seoul would be complete without visiting the oldest market in the city - Namdaemun market. Many come here to shop but I'm all about coming for Korean street food. With a plethora of stalls and no shortage of options it's best to arrive with an empty stomach. If you're having a hard time choosing I recommend Hotteok and Tteokbokki.
6) As if visiting a cat cafe wasn't enough there are also dog cafes in Seoul! Unlike the cat cafes, which are a bit more mellow, prepare for a high energy kind of environment in the dog cafe where the dogs are more active than the docile cats.
7) For the best walk in Seoul head down to the Cheonggyecheon stream in the heart of the city. Equally as fascinating during the summer as it is by winter, it takes on a totally different personality as the seasons change. If you're lucky you'll spot a traditional Korean performance or hear Korean music playing.
8) There are numerous palaces to consider visiting in Seoul but none is more impressive than Gyeongbokgung. With admission being only 3000 KRW it's a cheap and fun landmark to visit. Be sure to stick around for the changing of guard ceremony.
서울 은 세계에서 가장 역동적 인 도시 중 하나입니다. 나는 영어 교사로서 몇 년 동안 수도권 과 주변 살았던 만큼 권한이 있었습니다. 이 근처에 그리고 친애하는 나의 마음과 강력 방문해 보시기 바랍니다 하나 인 도시입니다 . 다음은 방문 할 가치가유명한 관광 명소 를 모두 갖춘 서울 여행 가이드 에서 할 내 물건 은 :
1) 인사동 은 서울 의 문화 중심지입니다. 그것은 관광객 과 같이 지역 주민 과 똑같이 인기있는 영역 입니다. 당신이 한국의 기념품 쇼핑을 하든, 보고 또는 한국의 일부 거리 음식 을 잡고 싶은 사람들은 , 당신은 모두 여기에 찾을 수 있습니다.
2) 공상 고양이 하십니까? 고양이 애호가 (그리고 거기에 사는 고양이 )에 대한 고양이 카페 낙원입니다. 고양이 와 상호 작용하고 그들에게 간식 을 먹일 수있는 기회 와 함께, 당신은 하나 에 앉아 몇 고양이 친구를 만들 해야 합니다 . 이 고양이 카페 거래는 당신이 애완 동물과 고양이 한테는 놀 수있는 기회를 ( 높은 일반 카페 보다 가격 )선불 음료 및 / 또는 간식 을 구입 해야한다는 것입니다 . 우리가 좋아하는 고양이 카페 는 홍대 에 위치했다.

With a plethora of stalls and no shortage of options it's best to arrive with an empty stomach. If you're having a hard time choosing I recommend Hotteok and Tteokbokki.
6) As if visiting a cat cafe wasn't enough there are also dog cafes in Seoul! Unlike the cat cafes, which are a bit more mellow, prepare for a high energy kind of environment in the dog cafe where the dogs are more active than the docile cats.
7) For the best walk in Seoul head down to the Cheonggyecheon stream in the heart of the city. Equally as fascinating during the summer as it is by winter, it takes on a totally different personality as the seasons change. If you're lucky you'll spot a traditional Korean performance or hear Korean music playing.
8) There are numerous palaces to consider visiting in Seoul but none is more impressive than Gyeongbokgung. With admission being only 3000 KRW it's a cheap and fun landmark to visit. Be sure to stick around for the changing of guard ceremony.
서울 은 세계에서 가장 역동적 인 도시 중 하나입니다. 나는 영어 교사로서 몇 년 동안 수도권 과 주변 살았던 만큼 권한이 있었습니다. 이 근처에 그리고 친애하는 나의 마음과 강력 방문해 보시기 바랍니다 하나 인 도시입니다 . 다음은 방문 할 가치가유명한 관광 명소 를 모두 갖춘 서울 여행 가이드 에서 할 내 물건 은 :

In this travel video we visit one of the most popular areas in Korea for university students, young adults and indie culture seekers in Seoul, Korea known as Hongdae -- 홍대앞. This is the first neighborhood I ever visited in Seoul, when I came on an independent journey, way back in 2004 to see -- whether or not -- I would like to teach English in South Korea after completing my University degree. It made quite an impression upon me then and it still does to this day. So much has changed in the Hongdae since I first arrived. The guest house where I met some of the first long-term backpackers I had ever encountered is no longer in operation. Many of the stores, clubs, bars and street vendors that I used to frequent have since left; however, the spirit of the area remains the same and it's as popular as ever.
What can you expect to find in Hongdae? The area is full of restaurants, shops, cute cafes & vintage boutiques. It's also a great place to view artsy mural paintings. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can watch indie music being performed while having a bite for lunch at the park. If you feel a little peckish, the plethora of street food stalls that line many of the busiest streets will cover your every need. Fancy a quiet or quirky cafe? Two of my favorite cafes are located in Hongdae and it shouldn't come as a surprises that both involve animals. For those interested try visiting a cat cafe or dog cafe in the area.
In this travel video we try to capture some of the hustle and bustle by taking time lapse video from several different vantage points in Hongdae:

When it comes to street food Asia is without a doubt the leader in terms of top notch delectable and inexpensive bite sized delights. Prior to teaching English in South Korea, having grown up in Canada, I really didn't know what street food was all about. Over the past decade, having focused most of my time living and traveling in Asia, I've become such a huge fan of street food that I feel as though I'm being robbed whenever I visit a country or city where I'm unable to get it.
When you think of street food in Asia numerous countries pop into mind. The standouts in my opinion are Korean street food, Chinese street food, Thai street food, Malaysian street food, Vietnamese street food and Taiwanese street food.
The following is a travel and food guide to the best street food to be found in Asia:
1) Thai Street Food
Where can you find Thai street. In a word - everywhere! Street food in Thailand is as much a part of daily life as songthaews and Buddhist monks. In this video we showcase the Saturday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand where we sample numerous street food delights including twist potatoes, blueberry cheesecake ice cream, pan-fried dumplings, sausage and banana pancakes with chocolate.
2) Korean Street Food
I've said it before but it is worth repeating again: "There is no place on earth that offers better street food that South Korea."
Called 'pojangmacha' some of my favorites include tteokbokki and hotteok. If you're in Seoul consider checking out Insadong and Namdaemun for a diverse selection of delectable delights.
3) Macanese Street Food
Friends had told us about the legendary street food in Macua. Fortunately for us we had an opportunity to try it ourselves. Some of the top highlights included egg tarts, pork chop bun, almond cakes, soy milk and Taiwanese pearl milk bubble tea.
4) Chinese Street Food
Our favorite city to eat street, while traveling in China, was the night market in Yangshuo. We started off with satay, a smoky and spicy meat and then moved on to Chinese banana pancakes. Compared to other countries where I've tried banana pancakes this one compared favorably.
5) Malaysian Street Food
I've visited many night markets in Asia and the Jonker Street Night Market, located in Malacca, Malaysia, is one of my all time favorites. On a hot and humid evening we had a chance to cool down with some delicious Cendol - a shaved iced dish with coconut milk, cane syrup, jellies and beans along with some refreshing sugarcane juice.
6) Singapore Street Food
Singapore is by far the most expensive country in Southeast Asia to visit. Accommodation is expensive. Eating at restaurants costs a small fortune. The solution? Hawker Centres. These open air food stall complexes serve up wonderful delights from cuisine all over Asia and especially SE Asia. We were lucky enough to sample Hainanese chicken rice, butter chicken, butter naan, satay and dim sum.
7) Khmer Street Food
Have you ever tried insects before? Prior to traveling in SE Asia I had yet to experience eating an insect. While in Cambodia I had the chance to devour some deep-fried crickets. Surprisingly, they were delicious - tasting similar to a potato chip.
8) More Malaysian Cuisine
While wandering around in Melaka we cooled down with Cendol - this time with ice cream while munching on deep-fried banana.
9) More Thailand Cuisine
Here we show you the infamous Thai banana pancake, also known as banana roti, as made from scratch Thai style. While living nearby Chiang Mai Gate we came here often to this stall for a sweet treat and for some dessert. Coming in at only 30 Baht (1 USD) it's the kind of treat where you can have more than one.
10) Thai Cuisine once again
One of our favorite outdoor stalls in Chiang Mai served yellow noodles with dumplings. The wanton like dumplings were a real treat. Coming in at just over a dollar we ate here often to save money.
This is our street food guide to Asia. Did you enjoy it? What are some of our favorite street foods from Asia or around the world?

South Korea Reports 14 New MERS Cases, Takes Total to 122

South Korea's health ministry on Thursday reported 14 new cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), taking the total to 122 in an outbreak that is the largest outside Saudi Arabia. Among the newly reported cases was a pregnant woman who contracted the virus at the emergency ward of a Seoul hospital that has been linked to a number of other confirmed cases. The spread of the disease has stirred up public fear and confusion, prompting President Park Geun-hye to postpone a visit to the United States, while health officials have been criticized over a lack of transparency and for failing to swiftly contain the spread.

South Korea's health authorities have confirmed the country's first Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) case in a patient who returned to Seoul from a business trip to Bahrain earlier this month.
The Health Ministry said the 68-year-old patient is now in a stable condition but his wife has also been found to be infected with the virus. Prior to his arrival to Korea, he had a layover in Qatar, according to the ministry.
The patient had been asymptomatic for about a week before he was hospitalized on May 12 for symptoms including high fever and coughing.

South Korea may be gaining control over the MERS outbreak, which struck the country one month ago. Health officials reported one death and one new case Friday, with the World Health Organization suggesting the next two weeks may confirm the contagion is in decline. Still, many continue to feel economic hardship, because lingering anxiety is keeping people indoors.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — The World Health Organization is warning that the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in South Korea is likely to get worse, as more than 1,300 people remain under quarantine Wednesday, while confirmed cases of infection has grown to 30 people.
Two people have died in South Korea after contracting the virus. Meanwhile, the education ministry says more than 500 schools have closed to prevent the spread of the disease.
The massive spread of the virus in South Korea has taken many by surprise, according to CNN, mainly because MERS has not previously been shown to spread easily among people, and South Korea is considered to have a good healthcare system.
MERS is in the same family of viruses as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) as well as the common cold. However, as far as scientists know, MERS does not spread easily between humans, according to CNN.
Since MERS first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012, international cases have mostly involved travelers bringing the virus to other countries and infecting one or two others. Deaths have been reported Oman, Algeria, and Malaysia — but the spread of the infections did not reach the extent of South Korea, according to CNN.
The first patient in South Korea, dubbed the "index case", was a 68-year-old man who had traveled to four Middle Eastern countries — including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — returning to South Korea on May 4, the New York Times reports. He did not exhibit symptoms during his flights.
When he became sick a week later, the man sought treatment at several clinics, which exposed health care workers and other patients to the disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
A factor that is contributing to the spread in South Korea could be that family members often stay with patients in their hospital rooms to and care for their loved ones, CNN reports.
The South Korean government has announced that it plans to set up a task force to deal with the outbreak of MERS. The government is also considering designating specific hospitals to treat those infected by the virus.

The South Korean government has announced that it plans to set up a task force to deal with the outbreak of MERS. The government is also considering designating specific hospitals to treat those infected by the virus.

South Korea's health ministry on Thursday reported 14 new cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), taking the total to 122 in an outbreak that is the largest outside Saudi Arabia. Among the newly reported cases was a pregnant woman who contracted the virus at the emergency ward of a Seoul hospital that has been linked to a number of other confirmed cases. The spread of the disease has stirred up public fear and confusion, prompting President Park Geun-hye to postpone a visit to the United States, while health officials have been criticized over a lack of transparency and for failing to swiftly contain the spread.

South Korea reports first two deaths from MERS respiratory illness
South Korea on Tuesday (June 2) reported its first two deaths from an outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) that has infected 25 people in two weeks, as public alarm grew and officials scrambled to contain the outbreak.
South Korean Health Ministry official Kwon Jun-wook confirmed the deaths at a news briefing in Sejong.
"First of all, two people died from Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The first deceased is a 58 year-old female. She was in contact with the first patient from 15 to 17 May," said South Korean Health Ministry official Kwon Jun-wook at a news briefing.
A 58-year-old woman, who had contact with South Korea's first patient, died of acute respiratory failure on Monday (June 1), the Health Ministry said. A 71-year-old man who had been on respiratory support with a history of kidney ailments also died.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) puts the total number of cases globally at 1,154, with at least 434 related deaths.
South Korea has isolated more than 700 people for possible MERS infection, which is caused by a coronavirus from the same family as the one that triggered the deadly 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), but MERS has a much higher death rate than SARS and there is no cure or vaccine.
The head of the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases Kim Woo-joo said MERS was less contagious than SARS.
"If we look through the records up until now, we know that MERS has a relatively low level of infectiousness compared to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)," said Kim.
The death rate from MERS, first identified in humans in 2012, has been 38 percent, according to WHO figures, with older patients and those with existing respiratory and renal ailments at greater risk, a South Korean doctor has said.
By comparison, the death rate from SARS was 9 to 12 percent, rising above 50 percent for patients over 65, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
South Korea's health ministry reported seven new cases on Tuesday, including the woman who died, bringing the total number of cases to 25. South Korea now has the third highest number of cases after Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
The WHO has so far not recommended travel or trade restrictions for South Korea.
However, South Korean border control authorities have issued a ban on overseas travel for people isolated for possible infection, a health ministry official said

WHO says South Korean MERS outbreak large and complex
The World Health Organization said on Saturday (June 13) South Korea's outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) was "large and complex" and more cases should be anticipated but it saw no sign that it is spreading in the community.
There was also no indication that the MERS virus in South Korea's outbreak has changed to make it more transmissible, WHO assistant director general, Keiji Fukuda, who is leading its team, said.
A WHO team has conducted a joint review with South Korean officials and experts of the country's response to the MERS outbreak which has infected 138 people and killed 14 of them since the first case was diagnosed on May 20.
"Because the outbreak has been large and is complex, more cases should be anticipated," Fukuda told a news conference.
"At present, the mission has found no evidence to indicate there is an ongoing transmission in the community," Fukuda added.
Fukuda also told reporters that particular habits and customs in South Korea may have had impact on spreading this infection.
"Likewise, the custom of having many friends and family members visiting hospital, hospitalized patients may have contributed to spread to secondary spread of infection," Fukuda said.
South Korea's health ministry on Saturday reported 12 new cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) bringing the total to 138 and said a 14th person had died in the outbreak.
The 12 new cases, including an ambulance driver who transported a previous patient, follow four that were reported on Friday. The lower number had raised hopes that the outbreak might be slowing, although officials and experts predicted there would be more new cases.
South Korean health authorities had widened quarantine to isolate and test anyone who may have come in contact with existing patients to try to contain the outbreak.
The outbreak is the largest outside Saudi Arabia, where the disease was first identified in humans in 2012, and has stirred fears in Asia of a repeat of a 2002-2003 scare when Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) killed about 800 people worldwide.
The 68-year-old man who brought MERS back to South Korea visited several health centres for a cough and fever before he was diagnosed, leaving a trail of infection in his wake. He continues to be treated for the illness.

South Korea's health authorities have confirmed the country's first Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) case in a patient who returned to Seoul from a business trip to Bahrain earlier this month.
The Health Ministry said the 68-year-old patient is now in a stable condition but his wife has also been found to be infected with the virus. Prior to his arrival to Korea, he had a layover in Qatar, according to the ministry.
The patient had been asymptomatic for about a week before he was hospitalized on May 12 for symptoms including high fever and coughing.
Although camels are suspected to be the primary source of MERS infection in humans, the exact transmission routes remain unknown. Since its outbreak was first reported in 2012, over 1,100 people, mostly residents in the Middle East, have been inflicted with the virus. Among them, 465 died.

The Health Ministry said the 68-year-old patient is now in a stable condition but his wife has also been found to be infected with the virus. Prior to his arrival to Korea, he had a layover in Qatar, according to the ministry.
The patient had been asymptomatic for about a week before he was hospitalized on May 12 for symptoms including high fever and coughing.
Although camels are suspected to be the primary source of MERS infection in humans, the exact transmission routes remain unknown. Since its outbreak was first reported in 2012, over 1,100 people, mostly residents in the Middle East, have been inflicted with the virus. Among them, 465 died.

South Korea may be gaining control over the MERS outbreak, which struck the country one month ago. Health officials reported one death and one new case Friday, with the World Health Organization suggesting the next two weeks may confirm the contagion is in decline. Still, many continue to feel economic hardship, because lingering anxiety is keeping people indoors.
